Is there a time limit in which to expect the paperwork to come to my house for a speeding offence? Its been 17 days since I committed the crime of the century and still waiting for the postman?

Quite a bit on the net about Speeding and Notice of Intended prosecution!

Hmmm I seeee... Still time for the postman to bring me bad news then.

I'm in the same boat. Got flashed on the M25 on Thursday, expecting a letter in the post at some stage 

[vauxsull]

Its £100 fine now too...

It's the points that really bother me, and I've already done a speed awareness course so they won't let me do another one for a while.

I've recently challenged the 14 day notice and it does stand, providing the car details and your address are correct, and have been for a while. Basically, they will send it to the registered keeper, so they have no obligation to chase you through recently changed address/V5 details etc. If you have been the registered keeper for a while and haven't moved recently you could be alright, as my letter states that the 14 days is a rule not a guideline.

Incidentally I failed, even though mine arrived 26 days after the offence, because the car was purchased through a car scheme, so the NIP went to them first. 

Assuming yours does arrive, and you meet the criteria above, you'd have a definite case. I was kindly pointed in the right direction by fellow OOFer LC0112G.

Assuming I don't get off on a technicality (not getting paperwork within legal time frame) these will be the first points ive ever had... Would pay £200 fine just to keep licence clean

I had my licence in me at the time I was stopped and all details was confirmed there amd then so no chasing up info on me.

If it hasn't arrived by now and if you havn't moved or changed car recently then I'd say your OK. But...... 

Incidentally, talking about the M25, has anyone ever had a ticket from one of those overhead gantry cameras through the variable speed limit sections.    Nobody ever seems to take any notice of them, but I did zip under one whilst 'pressing on' a bit the other day.

I find it frustrating when I have been careful to go under a gantry at the posted speed and cars have gone whizzing passed me because they know that it is one of the gantries that doesn't have cameras on

Don't they issue a speeding ticket on the spot if they stop you in person? Unless you ask for court proceedings.... Or has that changed now?

Ah, that changes things as you have already been notified in that case, so the usual 14 days may not apply.

My thoughts exactly, so my previous post does not apply.

It's probably more that they can see there's no white lines at the side of the lanes. Therefor, you can know as well.

The ticket I got on the roadside says I don't need to do anything but wait for further correspondence
